Last Surgery

The day has finally arrived.  We knew this surgery was coming and with courage and determination Aly met this next obstacle with a positive attitude and high hopes that this is the final step to the fullest recovery possible under the circumstances.  We have seen so many little tender mercies as Aly has gone through this "experience".  Dr. Tarlow is one of those blessings as he has been attentive and very conscious of every decision made for a recovery that Aly can live with.  This surgery was originally planned to attach both the ACL and PCL.  Dr. Tarlow was optimistic and hopeful that the ACL would adhere on its own, but needed to open up the knee to know exactly.  He had pre-drilled holes during the September surgery in anticipation of this surgery making this experience quick and less evasive.  He was right.  Only the PCL needed to be replaced, the surgery was a success and within 6 hours, we were headed home with Aly on crutches and feelling well enough to watch a movie at night. Little miracles today!
